Hell I am all for a no shift one gear pull. It will show how you seem to pull as strong or stronger on the bottom and mid range, and I should out run you big time. I hope.

Nice runs! I'm a little paranoid though about street racing after getting stopped not long ago. allngn_c5, I would think you should trap 124-125 with the RWHP numbers you are putting down. My car runs pretty consistent 118-119 mph, but I'd like to put a tire on it to get some decent ET numbers.

J/K Jamie. I figured you would like the video with the music and the sweet camera work that Chris' friend pulled off after he figured out what he was doing. I don't like shifting as fast as you are talking about when I am so close to the rev limiter. I could've on this race though because I was hitting the next gear at 6400-6500 rpms instead of 6700 like I should have. Not taking anything away from Chris with that comment either, his car gets up and goes very well from a roll. I think heads up no jump for him, and no passenger for me, I am going to put some distance between us a lot easier from 55 to whatever. Glad to hear from ya Jamie, I thought you were MIA for a min.

freaking A.
I responded to this yesterday man...but...obviously something went wacko with my connection.
Anyway's... Trust me man, I'm not about ripping my car apart, due to an over rev...thats the last thing I need to happen right now. I'd light the car on fire at this point if "my" car has a failure, I deal with enough of that at work everyday.Brother, The shifting, is SOO CRUCIAL to racing. I know you know this everyone, so please nobody take this like i'm telling you something that "I" tink you don't know.
..that said, with all honesty, the best thing I have going for me, is my driving style. I don't always powershift, I most of the time, just speed shift....or blip the throttle enough, to where I am NOT lifting completely but, maybe only 20% or soo....anything BUT full thorttle WORKS. Speed shifting, and keeping the car straight and MOVING forward REGARDLESS of wheel spin is what makes my combo sick. It WILL make or break a race for me. It's that simple. It is something that MUST be done dawg.
If anyone isn't comfortable, shifting that fast,powershifting, speed shifting, flatshifting,etc etc, I can fully understand why. You don't want to break ****. Like me. I started young, driving this way. And I suffered many times, when my 5.0 had a cracked T-5 main shaft in the transmission. Honestly, I broke 4 "world class t-5's" in that car. It never did it on an actual missed shift but, I know damm well it was due to my (at the time) non-driving *** missing gears time and time again. My Cobra,...same problem. I think I went through 4 T-45 transmissions. On that car, I honestly didn't miss too many shifts, cause at that time I had three years of manual ONLY driving, which was all in classic hot-rods and late model vettes and mustangs. I think the T-45 was just to weak for my driving style.
Now, after 12 years of manual only driving, I rarely miss gears if ever. Also, after all that driving, i've learned that you don't ALWAYS have to powershift, to make a fast selection. So do try and MAT the throttle...but Those extra 300 to 700rpm's that we may loose from NOT shifting superfast, in "MY" car, would kill me, atleast on motor, cause I would have knocked MYSELF below my cars powerBAND....and would have alot of ground to make up.
You don't have to make EVERY GEAR SUPER FAST either. Maybe start off with your stronger ones. The ones that YOU KNOW you can bang. If you think your gonna miss(don't think that cause you will), just also be ready to lift. Me, personally, i try and be ready for anything, ready for the sky to fall, whatever...missshift...whatever....titty flash from hot chick in car next to me...whatever. YOu can handle it man. I've seen your videos. ******* nut.
Trust me bro,...it makes the biggest difference in the entire world. Once you start banging them out, you'll never look back.
blah blah blah. I almost forgot what the hell I was talking about... my bad. lol....i'm retarded.
Again, I know everyone here knows this...just speaking my mind. Although you guys might not want to take advice from a looney.
Peace out ya'll.
